Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the rural area caused by introducing an incongruous urban form of development, combined with the absence of an ecological survey to assess impacts on a nearby Local Wildlife Site, outweighed any benefits from the proposal.

The substantial harm to character and appearance and the unresolved biodiversity concerns were weighed against the accessibility of the location, contribution to housing targets, and potential assistance with access road upkeep, with the harms substantially outweighing these limited benefits.
